Learn about five excellent, secure desktop distros for Linux pros.

I get so, so tired of explaining that Linux isn't that hard. Indeed, if you're reading this on an Android phone or on a Chromebook, congratulations! You're using Linux, and you very well might not have known it. But then there are the Linux distributions that do require expertise to make the most of. 

Why would you want to go to the trouble? Because you're a programmer, an engineer, or a system administrator who wants to get the most from Linux. Or, you're a power user, and you want to push your computer as far as you can take it. If that's you, then these are the distributions for you.
